Soo Choo to leadoff?

[MixedBag]

Anyone think that this kid with speed and good OBP might move into the leadoff spot letting Grady bat 3rd?

Just wonder, I also figured Grady would end up batting 3rd, but he has been so good leading off, I hate to move him. Also Grady and Hafner are both LH

sure he can.

speed, decent power, pretty good.

Sadly he cant hit lefties.

Maybe we go for an all lefty and all right platoon system.

Can we petition for an extra 8 roster spots?

Blake and Victor moving to first and Garko in Buffalo again next year learning antother new position?

I've so been keeping up on Soo Choo

Say Soo Choo fast and forceful and it sounds like a sneeze :chuckles:

I would put him at 2nd. Michaels is decent, but it was nice last year when we had the Sizemore - Coco quickness... I think it would be a good spot for him to thrive.

Jhonny P... if he can hit curve balls, he'll be back up to form for the 3rd spot.. but it sucks that he can't.

we need A-rod, yanks are talking about trading him, we should grab him. lol wont happen. and soriano to wooooooooooooooooo.

EDIT: Yep Choo will hit agaisnt the righties here...

Choo, a 5-11, 210-pounder, will join the Indians and is scheduled to start in right field on Friday night against his former teammates. "He'll play there against right-handed pitching," Shapiro said.

Shapiro said Casey Blake, who started 70 games in right field, will platoon with Choo in right field and team with Victor Martinez to play first base.
